Official data

Metroid Prime manual

"Fragments of Chozo lore are spread around the ruins of their civilization, waiting to be translated by Samus. Their insights may shed light on the mystery of the Phazon..."

Trivia

  • The Chozo Lore is similar to the Bryyo Data in that the walls on which they are scanned stand out by rippling flame with a design (language writing or artwork) on it; when scanned, the rippling stops. The Lore can still be scanned again after that, but the Bryyo Data (with one exception) cannot.
